Announcing
our new partnership
In an innovative development to re-affirm values driven, holistic, single-sex boarding education, and a first in the Independent Schools' sector, Downe House School and Harrow School will form an exciting new partnership from September 2026.
Bringing together two of the leading schools in the country will bring benefits to our pupils and families, now and into the future.
Life & Learning
At Harrow
Join us for an
open morning
Attending an Open Morning is the best way to experience, at first-hand, the Harrow School difference.
Open Mornings run from 9am until 1pm and we recommend that families visit the School when boys are in Years 4 or 5. We hold 12 Open Mornings per academic year. The morning features a talk from the Head Master and a Q&A with the Director of Studies and some of our boys. There is also an opportunity to meet the Registrar, tour the School and to visit one of our boarding Houses.

Scholarships & Bursaries
A scholarship is an award of excellence in academic study, the arts or sport. A scholarship award serves primarily as an acknowledgment of a boy’s achievement.
Many boys at Harrow benefit from our means-tested bursary provision. Bursary support is considered for strong candidates upon application to the School. Bursaries can be awarded either independent from or dependent on obtaining a scholarship.
Our
values
Courage, Honour,
Humility, Fellowship
help us to make decisions from day-to-day that mean we behave and perform better, inspiring us to try harder as individuals, so that we collectively thrive.
